NVDIMM for now is planned to use as a backing store for DAX filesystem
in the guest and thus this memory is excluded from guest memory management
and LRUs.

In this case libvirt running QEMU along with configured balloon almost
immediately inflates balloon and effectively kill the guest as
qemu counts nvdimm as part of the ram.

Counting dimm devices as part of the ram for ballooning was started from
commit 463756d03:
 virtio-balloon: Fix balloon not working correctly when hotplug memory

Isn't issue in ballooning impl. and not of pc-dimm/nvdimm,
so make ballooning code to distinguish between kinds of memory
rather than adding not related fields to PCDIMMDeviceClass

why don't just move get_current_ram_size() into the sole user
virtio-balloon.c and ignore NVDIMMs when counting ram in
get_current_ram_size(),
that would be much less intrusive patch.
